<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="images/cmd.jpg" alt="cmd" width="327" height="59" /></p>
<p>To create a task, the user must type  in ‘add’ or 'a' in the command box. This prompts the user to enter the description  of the task eg. Jogging.  Next  the user is asked to  enter the date of initiation followed by the date of termination. Type in  the same date if the task ends that very day. The software then asks the user to set the time  allocated for the task  followed by its priority level (high, medium, low). The  final step for creating a task is to set an alert (true/false) for it.</p>
<p>To create an event is also created in a similar way except that  the time slot will be appointed as 'nil'.&#13;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once the user has successfully added  a task or an event, he/she can  also update it should he/she choose to do  so. The existing task or an event  can be updated by left clicking the task  or pressing   the space bar key. This prompts an action box. The user should select the ‘Update’ tab. The command  box will display the  update command and the user can modify  any detail of the selected  task.&#13;</p>

<p><a name="search" id="search"></a><strong><u>How to Use Task Searching Function</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Existing tasks and events in the ezTask Manager can be searched by three different criterions namely by  description, by the priority level assigned to the task and by its active or  inactive status. To search by description, the User must  type in ‘s’ in the command box and press enter followed by typing in  the desired description. This displays all the tasks that contain the  description entered by the user.</p>
<p>  Tasks can be  searched by priority by entering ‘s-p’ in the command box followed by the priority of the tasks  we intend to find. Eg. Low. </p>
<p>An alternative way is to click on any of the  three icons of the priority. </p>
<p><img src="images/search.png" width="112" height="48" alt="search" /></p>
<p>Active or inactive tasks are searched by entering ‘s-s’ in the command box followed by ‘active’ or ‘inactive’.</p>
